Celebration for Annalise Murphy's return home ‘to honour a hero’

Yachting Olympic silver medallist, Annalise Murphy, will arrive back to a huge homecoming in Dun Laoghaire next week.

Annalise will be welcomed back to the National Yacht Club and the People’s Park at 6pm, next Thursday.

After four years of Olympic disappointment, missing out on a medal in London, when she finished fourth, to claim silver this time around, after the women’s laser radial final race, left the sailor “shell-shocked”.
